Left tackle. Free agency and the draft.

That's the difficult part, especially with the attention that needs to be paid to the Secondary as well. Also no one knows how well Beachum is going to be coming of that knee injury. I think if they think Munchak can really improve Al in the offseason, they will let Beachum go and test the market, if he doesn't get alot of interest and Foster does, Beachum may be back as our LG.

Foster doesn't sound like he'll be back, but I just don't know if they'll want to spend on Beachum. Guards are easier to come by, but Foster would be much more affordable than Beachum. Glad I'm not the one to make the call on these guys.
 
Beachum would have been tagged if he was healthy all year. He rates out as the 3rd best FA linemen on PFF. Maybe we end up paying a bit more than you'd like to see but hopefully a lot of it is in a year 2 partially guaranteed roster bonus. So he maybe pockets 6-8M in cash for 2016 spread over the cap and gets the larger part of the signing bonus next season if he has a healthy 2016. It would be interesting to see them use some jumbo type stuff with AV in at blocking Tight End. Would be an interesting look and would get a guy like that on the field for more snaps a game.

I have seen them play the I don't know what will happen we'll see card, only to return.

His age might work against him, for high money.

For reasonable money? I would think the Steelers throw him a offer..........
